"it is really unhealthy to form genuine emotional attachment"

It is not unhealthy at all??? What are you talking about? It's the same how you may form an emotional attachment to an item or a gift you received, even a person. Who are you to decide what people can or can't feel attached to and what's good or not? Why are you trying to take some sort of moral high ground all of a sudden? Are you a god? Are you that person themself? I think not. You should change your mindset. It is extremely common and normal if we go deeper on a cognitive and psychological level. In fact, it is even proved to be psychologically beneficial to have genuine emotional attachment if you do some research. There are special cases, but you are overgeneralizing with your words.

crodie you cut my quote a little short there! “It is really unhealthy to form genuine emotional attachment to fictional characters” and I stand by it. Look, I think if it gets to this level, and by the tone of his comment, it seems like he cannot form this kind of attachment irl anymore which in my opinion is very disruptive to everyday life. Lmfao I’m not a god I just calls it how I sees it, and this individual seems to be forming unhealthy attachments to these fictional characters to the point of it disrupting his ability to do so in the real world. Comparing that to feeling attached to a thoughtful gift is lunacy lmfao. The only flaw in my comment imo is that it’s sort of assuming they cannot form genuine attachment irl, and my comment serves more as a warning. 

Also, you sound very rude and I won’t be changing my mind about this
